DATA ANALYSIS
Big Data has become an amorphous term and has been presented as a new wonder of science.
But it comes down to old principles - understanding data, appending other sources, transforming it into an interrogatable format, coding queries, analysing results and being able to find meaning, utility and clarity.
It's what insights you can find and clear narratives it enables you to tell.
As companies and organisations have captured ever more data points on consumers, suppliers, customers or competitors and computing power has grown exponentially, even smaller businesses can begin to harness the insights thorough data analysis can bring.
We have years of experience dealing with large data sets for government departments, banks, investment firms and pension providers and have helped to develop tools to allow detailed analysis of complex data to the most demanding requirements.
We've chugged through the numbers for surveys, analysed public datasets for media and business intelligence clients, and supported a range of smaller firms build their first analytical platforms.
We're always happy to discuss your requirements and offer a free consultation.
OUR PROCESS
What are the questions you want answered?
How can your data help provide the insights you need to grow sales, drive productivity or improve your company's efficiency?
How can we help improve your understanding of your business?
We know every business is unique so we design bespoke solutions to address your specific requirements.
We help you delineate between the signal and the noise and we can build analytical tools of real value to your business.
We work with you to understand the sources of data you have available, how this data is collected and assess its quality.
We advise you on how your data can be enhanced and how datasets derived from multiple sources can be designed, managed and processed efficiently.
We define terms for a Data Dictionary and build the database structures that enable flexible queries to be run across large datasets.
Data enhancement, quality improvement and the correct alignment of records needs to happen instantaneously and without error.
We are expert in the design and implementation of complex ETL processes to allow the seamless matching of data from disparate sources and the correction and enhancement of data quality issues.
Using Oracle or Azure SQL databases we can consolidate data into a valuable source of information for multiple functions within your business.
Understanding your data is key.
With core expertise within financial services and governmental agencies we can provide the expert insights and clear focus on key outputs.
We understand how to apply complex rules and have particular expertise in implementing regulatory changes.
We are continually growing our practice and with a pool of trusted freelancers available to work on a range of projects, we can provide expert advice whatever the challenge.
We understand the complexities of data governance and will advise on best practices for the security, management and protection of your data.
The devil's in the details.
Understanding what data is useful, how it correlates with trends or outcomes, and ensuring we have the ability to find the details that matter is key to producing value.
Producing large data sets shouldn't reduce your ability to hone in on individual data points, allowing you to identify issues and trends, develop and refine new products and focus on key metrics.
Granular data allows us to find patterns, but also to zoom into the detail.
Understanding how complex systems work - finding the key data points that help explain relationships and developing a set of key metrics is a start.
Analysis can illuminate areas of business or functionality that can offer new opportunities and lead to competitive advantages. It can build narratives that explain performance and provide the tools with which management decisions can be made with confidence and accuracy.
We provide clear, concise reports that help our clients measure and advance performance.
An accurate model can be a window into the future, an inaccurate one can sink a business.
Being able to stress test and wargame scenarios is a vital tool to help businesses of all sizes manage their risks and inform their decision making. Big Data approaches allow refinement of complex data and increased accuracy in creating meaningful modelling tools.
With our experience building everything from complex models for risk management and Regulatory Reporting functions within financial institutions, to tools used by civil service and councils to manage and pre-empt demand for services, we build models that work.
We offer relevance and clarity.
What are the key messages we can decipher amidst the noise?
Why are these data points more important than others, or why is this issue a priority or another not?
We seek to understand your business and its data as completely as you do. We look to provide insights and options that can grow your business, help manage and control risks, improve processes and promote efficiencies.
We help decision makers make decisions.
